can I execute cmd commands in a pulumi program? I would like to

git clone

a helm chart and run it after

yeah just make sure its awaited or synchronous and it will all be fine just like any other app

what’s the… module / syntax to execute a command?

import child_process i guess

oh, so like a node app? 🤔

if you're using typescript/node you'd use that yeah, python use whatever the equivalent is

oh, so like a node app?

Yes, for JS and TS. Here’s an example from a recent personal project of mine: https://github.com/praneetloke/GarageDoorMonitor/blob/master/infrastructure/projectBuilder.ts. I am invoking

dotnet publish

, though I am doing it using the synchronous version of

spawn

. I am doing that because the async version only accepts a callback and not async/await, which would have required me to create a promise and manually resolve/reject the promise. I didn’t want to do all that, but you could if you wanted to. I also think synchronous exec is fine here.

@clever-sunset-76585 this is exactly what I wanted, thanks for the example!
